Red Stone (Kyzyl-Tash) - a rock in Crimea, located near the village of Krasnokamianka Gurzuf. Since 1969, protected as a geological monument of nature, part of nature reserve fund of Ukraine.

Formerly known as cliff Kyzyl-Tash, which translated from Crimean Tatar and means actually "Red Stone". Even earlier, in the Middle Ages, it was called Helin-Kai ("Hellenic", ie the Greek rock) [1].

Contrary to the name of the main color of the rock surface grayish-white and only occasionally appears yellow-orange. Red stone itself is made of thick, dark gray marble limestone. Place in the rock caught small crystals of calcite. Limestone defeated numerous cracks in the slope inclined at an angle of 35 - 40 degrees. Especially a lot of cracks in the crest of Red Stone.
